‘Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence.’ Henry David Thoreau
Choosing a path on which you can walk with love and reverence must surely be a path of peace. Where people are exploited there is no love. Where land is misused there is no reverence. Better to choose a path that is both loving and thoughtful towards all who share it with us. I think this might be a pathway of peace.
Take a walk outside, in nature if you can, and smile at anyone you meet on the trail. Start there.
And so we pray.
May love be our guide on the path of peace.
May we treat the way we walk and those we encounter with reverence.
Amen
